Problem
Magento 2 does not provide a city dropdown field in checkout and customer address forms, forcing customers to manually type city names. This leads to spelling errors and inconsistent data entry. Additionally, store owners who operate in specific service areas have no way to restrict orders to supported cities, resulting in order cancellations.
Solution
Add City Dropdown Manager extension for Magento 2 solves these problems by converting the city text field into a dropdown selector in both checkout and customer address forms. Store administrators can easily manage cities from the admin panel, linking each city to its appropriate region and ensuring customers select only from standardized options. The extension also enables you to restrict deliveries to specific service areas by limiting dropdown options.

Can I restrict Magento 2 checkout to specific cities only?
Yes. The City Dropdown Manager lets you define exactly which cities appear in the checkout dropdown. Customers can only select from your approved list, so if you operate a delivery service in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah, you can restrict Magento 2 checkout to those specific cities and prevent orders from addresses you don't serve. Unrecognised or out-of-area cities simply won't appear as an option.
How do I change the Magento checkout city field from a text box to a dropdown?
By default, Magento 2 displays a free-text input for the city field during checkout, meaning customers can type anything, leading to misspellings and bad address data. This extension replaces the Magento checkout city field with a dropdown that you populate from the admin panel. Once installed, the city field becomes a controlled selector in both the checkout shipping form and the customer account address form, with no custom coding required.
